President denies in the most en-
phatic terms that he has expressed to
any person his intentions with respect
10 a second term. He has, in conver-
sation with more than one visitor,
been pressed to commit himself on
this question, and to every one he has
made the same answer-that he had
not given any thought to the matter
of a denomination; that it was as
much as he could find time to think
about to get through the present four
years with benefit to the country and
satisfaction to the people who elected
him and credit to himself This is as
much as he has ever said on the gen
eral topic Allusion to his health,
which he is quoted as making, he de
clares he never made and would not
make, as he has no such apprehen
sions as are attributed to him. He is
feeling very well, and bears the bur
dens Of Office without serious dlscom-
fort. He had not even the satisfac
.tion Of knowing who had taken his
future in charge so generally. Sena-
tor Vest, when questioned about the
matter this afternoon, declined to
affirm the authorship of the published
i,1te17iew When pressed for his

willing to serve another term if the
Democratic party insisted on his
doing so.
